The Climate Board has put together a series of publications that address how sustainability leaders and executives can decarbonize their organization’s real estate portfolio, which are aggregated on this page.

Accessing renewable energy: a playbook to determine your strategy provides four tactics to help leaders consider unique pressures and limitations impacting their real estate portfolio to determine the optimal renewable energy strategy. The report walks through considerations such as location, property-type, and building use, while providing insights from TCB interviews with experts and tips on where to find relevant online resources.

Financing renewable energy investment helps leaders make the business case for these investments by considering regulatory pressures impacting your company, available financial incentives, and tips for engaging with the finance department or considering interim strategies if you’re not able to make investments today. This report also recommends helpful online resources to determine which regulations and incentives are impacting your market, and our primer on Engaging with the Inflation Reduction Act goes deeper on how corporates can take advantage of some of the incentives available in the IRA.

Finally, the fact sheets offer a primer on the main renewable energy options available to corporates. If you’re just getting started on your renewable energy strategy, reviewing the first two pages of each fact sheet will provide a helpful overview of your options. Once you’ve determined which strategy is right for your organization, each fact sheet also offers best practices (on p. 3+) and tips for implementation.
